Actress STACEY DASH has advised transgender people to urinate in bushes, claiming their public bathroom breaks disregard the rights of others.

In recent months American politicians have introduced legislation in Mississippi and North Carolina mandating transgender people relieve themselves in communal restrooms designated for the gender they were at birth.

The new laws have upset many and some celebrities have boycotted the states to protest the new guidelines, but the outspoken “Clueless” star has chimed in on the hot topic with a shocking suggestion.

“OK, then go in the bushes,” she says in a new ET Online interview. “I don’t know what to tell you, but I’m not gonna put my child’s life at risk because you want to change a law. So that you can be comfortable with your beliefs – which means I have to change my beliefs and my rights? No.”

Stacey went on to explain she is an adamant supporter of measurements like North Carolina’s Public Facilities Privacy & Security Act, aka House Bill 2, which was signed into law in March, because she feels transgender people who want to go to the bathroom in public toilets appointed for their adopted sex “infringe upon” her rights “too much.”

“It’s tyranny by the minority,” she insists, after declaring transgender people make a choice to transition into the opposite sex. “Why do I have to suffer because you can’t decide what you wanna be that day? It’s your body! So, it’s your decision, right? We all make choices.”

In addition to feeling violated by transgender civil rights issues, the conservative Fox News contributor also has a problem with discourse surrounding the modern feminist movement, asserting the pursuit of equal rights for men and women actually emasculates males.

“We are the most powerful creatures on the planet, women,” Stacey argues. “That’s why I hate when they (critics) say I don’t get this, I don’t get that. I’m like, ‘Come on! We have the men. We raise the men. So, let’s start letting them be men’. Stop trying to be men. Let’s be women. And let’s let men be men. Let’s empower them to be men, because I feel like they’re falling away.”

Actress Stacey Dash has criticized Kanye West for comparing paparazzi attention to sexual assault, insisting the rapper should spend time in jail to “know what rape is.”

The “Clueless” star, who played West’s girlfriend in the music video for his song “All Falls Down,” recently joined Fox News Network as a regular contributor, and the hip-hop star’s controversial comments were discussed during her TV appearance on Tuesday.

West is said to have ranted about celebrity snappers during a gig in Britain over the weekend, with multiple concertgoers reporting that he compared facing the paparazzi on the streets to being “raped.”

Dash waded into the debate over his comments, and slammed West for misunderstanding such a serious subject, saying, “For Kanye to say, ‘rape,’ maybe he needs to spend some time on (New York prison) Rikers Island. … You know, go to Rikers for a little while. And then he’ll know what rape is. I don’t get celebrities not understanding that the paparazzi are doing their job.”

“Clueless” star Stacey Dash is reportedly in talks to join Fox News as a regular contributor.

The conservative actress has previously appeared on Fox News shows like “Fox & Friends,” but now she is close to signing on for a more long-term role to share her political views on air, according to the New York Post.

Dash has become an outspoken supporter of the Republican Party since backing Barack Obama’s rival Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential elections, although her Twitter endorsement prompted a backlash among fans.

Discussing the surprising reaction to her Twitter posts, she recently said, “I woke up the next morning, and my life changed. I had death threats, people calling me Uncle Tom, telling me I didn’t like black people. Ridiculous things that I didn’t really care to hear. …

“It made me feel more confident in my belief. It made me feel that I needed to stand up more.”

Martin was the black teenager who was shot and killed by Neighborhood Watch volunteer George Zimmerman in Florida last year. Zimmerman was controversially acquitted of the youngster’s murder last month, and the decision sparked a wave of protests across the U.S.

Emmett Till was a 14-year-old African-American boy who was murdered in Mississippi in 1955 after reportedly flirting with a white woman.

The “Clueless” star took to her Twitter.com account on Friday to slam the legendary TV show host, while quoting civil rights activist Malcolm X and linking to a Fox News article that criticized Winfrey for making the comparison.

She writes, “If You aren’t careful, The newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed And loving the people who are doing the oppressing ~ Malcolm X Oprah Compares Trayvon Martin to Emmett Till; Says Obama is “Smart” for Not Appearing on Fox News http://foxnewsinsider.com/2013/08/07/oprah-compares-trayvon-martin-emmett-till-says-obama-smart-not-appearing-fox-news via @foxnewsinsider Shame on you @oprah”

This isn’t the first time Dash has made headlines for her comments on the social media site.

In April, she blasted Jay Z and Beyonce for taking a vacation to Cuba.

The “Clueless” actress, who has won fans and enemies for her conservative views, has joined Whoopi Goldberg and Barbara Walters as a guest presenter on the magazine show in the past and she is keen to become a permanent fixture now that fellow Republican Hasselbeck has quit.

The former “Survivor” contestant ended her decade on “The View” on Wednesday after announcing she would be joining Fox news show “Fox & Friends” later this year, and Dash, who was a guest on “Access Hollywood Live” as Hasselbeck’s big announcement went live, immediately revealed she would be interested in replacing her.

Actress Vivica A. Fox has mocked Stacey Dash after she endorsed U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney by donning a sexy swimsuit to promote his campaign.

The “Clueless” star has received a barrage of criticism for backing Romney instead of Barack Obama ahead of next month’s election, and recently opened up about how she was “saddened and shocked” by the backlash over her political leanings.

Now her “Getting Played” co-star Fox has also lambasted Dash for deciding to show her allegiance to the Republican nominee by posing in a red swimsuit for a sexy political shoot.

Fox tells news site TheGrio, “I didn’t know she was a Republican. I will start there. Second, I don’t know why she had to do a photo shoot in a ‘Baywatch’ red swimsuit with the boobs and the whole flag behind her. And she doesn’t have a job or something to promote right now. I just didn’t get it.

“Most politicians when you support them, you try to support them with class, you don’t need to do a swimsuit shoot.”

Actress Stacey Dash has quit her role on Queen Latifah’s TV show “Single Ladies” to concentrate on life as a mom.

The star played fashion boutique owner Val Stokes in the first series of the VH1 comedy, which is filmed in Atlanta, Ga.

But Dash has decided to leave the show before season two begins shooting to spend more time with her family, who live in Los Angeles.

She tells GlobalGrind.com, “I truly enjoyed playing Val on Single Ladies, but I have decided to leave the show. I have to be back in L.A. with my children right now and the Single Ladies shooting location makes that impossible.

“I wish VH1 the best of luck with the show and in maintaining the strong fan base we developed in season one.”

A spokesperson for the network adds, “VH1 respects Stacey’s decision and her commitment to what she feels is best for her family. We thank her for all of her hard work in making Single Ladies a success right out of the gate, and we wish her nothing but the best in her future plans.
